GoWarm goes live with state of the art hand held computers
A North East organisation has invested a pot of money in a bid to change doorstep assessments forever. GoWarm Assessors have trialed hand held computers, which will now replace the traditional paper-based assessment method.
The assessors are visiting households across the region to establish if there are any measures that can be introduced into the home to ensure that it is as energy efficient and comfortable as possible. Once a property has its measures installed, the project team then help residents with a free benefits check.
Thousands more homes across the North East will benefit from a partnership formed by GoWarm and a Teesside Council.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is the most recent council to link up with GoWarm to help their area in the fight against fuel poverty.
GoWarm, which aims to reduce fuel poverty and ensure that households are as energy efficient as possible, has already begun assessing the 30,000 households in Redcar & Cleveland that could benefit.
